Dental Emergency Tips

The following are some tips on how to handle a dental emergency until you get to our Plano office:

Tooth knocked out – Call us immediately! Locate the tooth and pick it up by the top, not touching the roots. If dirty, rinse it with water, don’t remove any fragments of tissue, and do not scrub it. Insert it in the socket if possible and hold it there. If it can’t be inserted in the socket, put it in some milk and get to the dentist. If milk isn’t available, a saline solution like the kind used for contact lenses will work.

Broken tooth – Call us immediately! Rinse your mouth with warm water. Take ibuprofen, not aspirin, for pain. Use a cold compress for swelling. If you feel your jaw may be broken, go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Object stuck between teeth – Try to dislodge the object with floss or an interdental brush. Call us if you can’t dislodge the object.

Soft tissue injury (lips, cheeks, gums) – Rinse with salt water, then apply pressure with soft gauze for 15 to 20 minutes on the site of bleeding. Use a cold compress on the outside for 5 to 10 minutes. If bleeding doesn’t stop, go to a hospital emergency room.

Partially dislodged tooth – Try to gently push it back into position with you finger, bite down to hold it in place, and call us.

Toothache – Brush your teeth, rinse with warm water, and floss or use an interdental brush. Call us if the pain doesn’t stop.

I was very happy with my experience at Sunrise Family dentist. As soon as I came in I was greeted by the front desk who was very nice and helpful. I loved that the office is very new and clean, and you can see that their main focus is their patients. Will definately be back!

My first visit but definitely not the last one! I am very impressed with the staff of Sunrise Family Dentistry. I had a free consultation on my first visit. Arthur, who is very warm and friendly by personality, introduced me to Dr. Samuel, who also happens to be very easy to talk to. He spoke like a friend and made necessary suggestions on how he was going to take care of everything. I instantly felt at ease. Both my upper wisdom teeth were extracted and I didn’t feel an inch of pain. However, since the bottom ones were more complicated, I was referred to an oral surgeon. Arthur arranged everything for me. All I had to do was turn up at the oral surgeon’s office! I couldn’t drive as the medication I had to take made me dizzy so I was even picked and dropped by the friendly staff. As for the cost, it was way reasonable. I would for sure recommend Sunrise Family Dentistry to anyone in search of a dentist or anyone who is not satisfied with their current dentistry. I sincerely thank Arthur and Dr. Samuel for being attentive, helpful and most of all caring.

I came in for a routine cleaning and had a few cavities filled. Dr. Samuel was very kind and professional. The whole team made me feel very comfortable and made sure to ask me how I was doing during the process. Overall I had a great experience and definitely recommend visiting the office. They really do care for their clients and it shows in the service.

I woke up the last few mornings and knew something was wrong when I could not even tolerate a toothbrush across my back tooth. All too often, it is difficult to find dental care with short notice. However, this dental clinic was able to get me in the same day, solve not only my immediate need but also a five year issue with another tooth. I am very happy and pleased with the quality of care and the flexibility exhibited. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. There is a high level of customer service and expertise.
